The state of the Habs Rebuild - The Next step

[Andrei79]

Don’t think any rebuilding team has hit on every top pick but I could be wrong. My main issue will be if Hughes does nothing this offseason. That can’t fly with some of the bad contracts coming out. Anderson might have made himself tradeable again at 50% retention and he can’t miss the boat on it this time.

Yes yes, I agree. Boring. Now get your ass back to the other thread where I'm showing you why you're wrong when I should be sleeping because it's midnight

If Demidov can play center it solves a lot of problems.

I think our biggest need is a solid RD who can come in and eat some minutes while the younger players develop.

I would love to see Demidov at C, but it's a big if, and it might not be year 1 as it would be a lot to handle on top of crossing the pond.

A stopgap established 2C like Monahan (if the right opportunity arises...) could be really beneficial to give young forwards like Hage, Beck and Demidov the time they need to get their foot in the door. Unless Dach turns it around convincingly, I don't think the team can head into next season with their current center depth. They need to add a body.
